Fear of rabies
Hi, I am suffering from OCD and has high fear of rabies. Last week, I saw a small cat near my flat about 2 metres away from me. I was so scared and I had already locked my door. I saw the cat started moving towards me and I suddenly opened the door and went inside my flat. This was the incident. I was not wearing full shoes . I didn't experience any pain or any feeling like cat has touched me , but I am so scared and I looked at my toe, if some thing happed. My first thought came was to check my right toe and I did not find any particular marks. I am so anxious and worried as I did not know if the cat has touched , scrached or bitten me. I am so worried that I could not concentrate on my studies. I felt like taking anti rabies vaccination but I am so confused as my family members are saying no need for that. I do not know if others could feel my worries. Do I need to take vaccine. Any adivce will be very helpful

I agree with you the symptoms looks like OCD. If you don’t see any scratch or bite mark on your feet then vaccine is not recommended. The best approach is to seek treatment for OCD. For that you should consult with a trustable physician because treatment of OCD takes a long course and needs a good relationship with a doctor whom you can trust and open up with.
